Description
An oasis-like, desert-ish map. A dam built in the middle of a desert to fertilize the land surrounding the oasis. Lush vegetation thrives near the waterfront but when going further away from the oasis vegetation becomes more sparse, whereas the far surroundings are fully desertificated. I see this landscape as a versatile plot of land as it suits multiple different types of cities ranging from farm fields to a metropolis. The ground is not completely flat, yet it is easily terraformed to flatten areas for building. With that said, it is obvious that this map will by some means challenge you to come up with creative ideas to claim land effectively. If you love natural scenery, I think you'll love this map as well as there's no shortage of scenery here!

A quick list-styled description of this map:
• Only 155K trees.
• Detailed, but not to the extreme level.
• Pre-existing networking kept at minimum to place emphasis on a sandbox-like experience.
• Shipping routes not present! For obvious reasons.
• Apart from shipping, this map supports all other transportation modes.
• No oil.
• The pre-built dam does not produce electricity due to it's height. Done this way for visual (and water level steadiness relared) reasons.
• Pre-built sewage treatment facilites to solve early game sewage issues. The lake does not have waterflow, as lakes naturally don't flow too much. The pipeline has been drawn all the way to the start square.
• Varying terrain heights. See the end of the screenshots for a heighmap!
• Decided to use the NExt2 mod instead of using the Mass Transit national road to make this map available to everyone.


Mods used in screenshots:
LUT: Relight 3 Kali
Daylight Classic (all to classic)
Clouds & Fog Toggler (disable clouds and edge fog)
Tree LOD fix (ultra)

Other recommended mods:
81 Tiles to expand your city further. I think this map will give you plenty of build space with the vanilla 25 tiles too, though.
Prop & Tree anarchy to prevent some trees from disappearing at launch.

If you come across any bugs / issues, please let me know down in the comments. I'll do my best to make up time to patch up any possible errors! Also feel free to post any questions, critique, compliments, whatever you want to!

More information would be needed to actually give more comprehensive troubleshooting tips but make sure you're not using any mods that are incompatible with NExt2 (the list is quite extensive). This is the most likely culprit if you're having issues with the map working.

Map does not load in.

Oh, thanks for the input BBB! Didn't occur to me that not having NExt2 active actually breaks the map instead of just having the roads missing. Been a long while (a few years) since I've dabbled with NExt2 at all. Thanks again.

The problem actually is that you are not using NExt2 roads. They are required else the map will be broken. While you are using an alternative, that alternative isn't prebuilt into the map. Instead you could sub to NExt2, load up the map, upgrade the roads to your preferred roads, then unsub from NExt if you really don't want it.

Do other maps work for you with the same set of mods?

Map is unfortunately not working for me; shows up blank at the start, with error messages that won't go away. I subscribed to everything except for Network Extensions (I have a different, up to date mod that I'm using in its place).

@Saylis,
There's only 1 mod used and that is the Network Extensions 2 mod, which has been "out of date" for almost a couple years by now. If NExt2 doesn't work anymore (crashes your game etc.), you can load the map without the mod as well, the only thing broken will be the interchange near the start square which is obviously not ideal, but it won't make the map unplayable, just takes one highway out of the connection.

The options to take out the NExt2 requirement are either replacing the two-way-highway with the Mass Transit version of the road, effectively locking the map behind a DLC, or using a regular road which also does not function too well at interchanges. If you really need the road, you can always replace it in the map editor before starting a new game on the map too.
I hope this clarifies the situation!

i reloaded the map and the problem look solved sometimes you need to reboot your computer to get assets properly downloaded that's weird.

probably i can use the miniature to recreate that missing connexion ad it was originally intended to.
